#VaccineHesitancy
The faces of the NIH cuts - by Mickey Desruisseaux

Puppet Don's parasitic cronies & puppet masters breaking the law in two fundamental ways:
• The Administrative Procedure Act. By cancelling hundreds of grants based on the #heritageFoundation / #project2005 privatization-and-plunder agenda (cut public funding of anything benefiting the public — putting labels on the targets of needed resources such as #DEI, #transgender issues, #vaccineHesitancy) with zero scientific input, the #NIH did not even try to explain why a change in #medicalResearch priorities was justified.
• Constitutional violations. The cancellations are unconstitutionally vague. Researchers cannot decipher how they would need to modify further research studies to comply. Further, the grant cancellations violate constitutional separation of powers principles because they seek to override the requirements on NIH that are mandated by the sole authority to determine public spending: #Congress.

It's not just the US.
1400 measles cases, 100 hospitalizations, just in Ontario, Canada, overwhelmingly among the unvaccinated.

突然想起来霍炬之前搞的「著作权诉讼开源」，搜了下找到一篇（与之关联不大）以前读过的采访文字版（现在已经是一个文字版需要被强调的时代了）：
《对话霍炬 | 互联网之子 Aaron Swartz 想要看到的世界》
https://medium.com/@blockchaineconomicsstudio/dc2dccd08cca
里面提到 #AaronSwartz 、提到 #Technolibertarianism 、提到 #开源 和 #创作共用 ，这次重读感想完全不同了
在唐纳德二次当选、后瘟疫时代下libertarian与maga合流的反疫苗运动 #vaccinehesitancy 等等当下重心回顾 #wikileaks 以及其直接影响的橘老头首次当选，五味杂陈都不足以形容
即使非要抱着对抗和斗争式的战争思维，绝大部分时间我们能够瞄准的「敌人」，也只是光谱上离我们很近的伙伴而已；真正需要「对抗」的坏家伙，甚至根本都不在我们的射程内。
霍炬在经历了汉语联邦宇宙的rss纷争之后下线了他的自建实例。
Vaccine trust is shifting. Now Republicans are increasingly trusting the government on vaccines, while democrats are trending in the opposite direction.
Alarmingly, barely half of Americans are confident in the safety of the covid vax, which maybe doesn't matter since a new one might not be available in time for next fall's surge, thanks to RFK Jr's anti scientific new rules requiring placebo controlled testing of already tested and safe vaccines that have been optimized for current strains.
And, of course, this increasing distrust of the covid vaccine can be directly linked to RFKJr's misinformation and policies, like his false claims that the covid vaccine was not sufficiently tested, and that it requires additional, unethical placebo- controlled testing.

PsyPost: Media habits predict vaccination and trust in science — and not always how you’d expect. “A new study published in Scientific Reports suggests that people who consume a more ideologically diverse mix of news sources are more likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and to trust science—regardless of their personal political beliefs. At the same time, consuming more conservative […]
A brief #criticalThinking exercise that made Democrats less interested in sharing misinformation (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-025-07578-5) failed to impact COVID #vaccine #conspiracyTheory beliefs and #vaccineHesitancy.

Vaccines are one of the greatest scientific success stories of our time. They have saved more than 154 million lives in the last 50 years — more than 1 life every 10 seconds.
Recent moves to strip funding from vaccine-related research are shortsighted and self-harming. As is the use of precious resources to revisit debunked claims of links to autism.
The best vaccine isn’t useful if it is not distributed, or not socially accepted. Vaccine equity and hesitancy remain great challenges. Globalizing antivaccine activism could become our greatest hurdle.
It is not time to defund, but rather invest in vaccines.

Vaccines are one of the greatest scientific success stories of our time. Vaccination has saved more than 154 million lives in the last 50 years — more than six lives every minute of every year.
Our technical ability to develop vaccines has outpaced our social, political, and financial systems for ensuring their use. Recent moves to strip funding from vaccine-related research are shortsighted and self-harming. As is the use of precious resources to revisit debunked claims of links to autism.
The best vaccine isn’t useful if it is not distributed, or not socially accepted. Vaccine equity and hesitancy remain great challenges. Globalizing antivaccine activism could become our greatest hurdle.
We should not allow misinformation, disinformation, ignorance and defunding to hinder vaccine development, deployment and use.
It is not time to defund, but rather invest in vaccines.

Michigan Daily: UMich study shows how generative AI could use personality to combat vaccine myths . “In an interview with The Michigan Daily, [Professor Hang] Lu said he found the results were surprising. The extraversion-targeting messages performed just as well, and sometimes even better, than professionally developed generic corrections. But messages tailored to address pseudoscientific […]

Professor Lawler said he is concerned of low #immunisation rates leading to widespread harm and death, particularly in the wake of a recent surge in cases of #whoopingcough, #measles, respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) and #meningococcal disease.
‘If we continue to see rising #vaccinehesitancy and dropping vaccination rates, we will see real harm coming to Australian children and communities,’ he said.
‘And when I say real harm, I’m including deaths in that.’ (2/3)
